Prayer Circles

My husband is an incest survivor and lives in deep spiritual and emotional pain for the suffering he went through at the hands of someone he trusted. I pray for him and for all incest survivors for the end of suffering and for peace and happiness to return to them one day. There are very few resources to support partners of incest survivors, and we too need support to manage the emotional toll that being with an incest survivor can take on us. We love our partners but we can get burned out by being the emotional resource for our partners, who suffer so deeply, and co-dependent, forgetting to care for ourselves because our partner's problems seem so much more important. I invite anyone who is in a relationship with a survivor of incest or sexual abuse to contribute, because we need to know there is support out there for us and that others understand what we as partners experience.
